Country Schools of Aitkin County
Our long-awaited book on the Country Schools of Aitkin County is finally printed! This book documents the locations of all schools that operated in Aitkin County, with photographs. You can buy a copy at the Depot Museum.
Resorts of Aitkin County
We are looking for photos, post cards, brochures and any other information pertaining to Resorts that were or still are operating in Aitkin County. Information received will be used in a future publication. All information/photos received will be placed in files. If you would like to keep the originals, we can scan them into our system and return them to you. Please help us with this project before the information is lost.
